Washington Trust Bancorp is increasing its efforts to shield seniors from financial fraud, spotlighting the critical role of community banks as a front line of defense.
The company referenced a recent New York Times article showing how smaller banks are often the main barrier preventing fraudulent schemes that target older customers.

Community banks like Washington Trust Bancorp are playing a growing role as trusted partners in fighting elder fraud and maintaining financial security for vulnerable groups.
The heightened vigilance toward senior financial security comes amid broader organizational shifts, following Washington Trust Bancorp’s recent branch closures for February 23, which underscored the bank’s adaptation to evolving customer needs.
